-# Recall Daemon Wedge Fix — Implementation Plan
-
-> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
-
-**Goal:** Stop the NLM daemon's `/api/recall` from wedging by making recall fetch only the hit sessions (not the whole 99 MB corpus), and bound the SQLite WAL with checkpoint management.
-
-**Architecture:** `RecallService.search()` currently calls `SqliteSessionStore.list()` on every request, which `SELECT`s the `body` column — 99 MB of session markdown across 2,097 rows — synchronously on the Node event loop (measured 239ms vs 35ms without `body`). better-sqlite3 is synchronous and single-threaded, so concurrent recalls serialize into multi-second head-of-line blocking. The fix: the FTS5 `keywordSearch` / sqlite-vec `semanticSearch` legs already return ranked session IDs — resolve only those (~15) sessions via a new `getByIds` store method that omits `body`, and apply the entity/kind filter after the fetch. Separately, add a periodic `wal_checkpoint(TRUNCATE)` to the daemon so the WAL (currently 38 MB, never drained) stays bounded.
-
-**Tech Stack:** TypeScript (NodeNext, strict), better-sqlite3 11, vitest, Node 22. Hexagonal — `RecallService` depends on the `SessionStore` port; `SqliteSessionStore` is the adapter.
-
-**Root cause** (confirmed by profiling): `sample` of the daemon during a wedge showed ~50% of the window in one synchronous better-sqlite3 query, 85% of that in `vdbeColumnFromOverflow` → `pread` (reading `body` overflow pages). A `/api/health` call measured 8.2s during recall load — the event loop is blocked.
-
-**Branch:** Create and work on `fix/recall-daemon-wedge` off `main`.
-
-**Must stay green:** `tests/integration/recall-golden.test.ts` (the recall-correctness regression gate) and `tests/integration/recall-sqlite.test.ts`.
-
-**Out of scope:** Reducing the leaked `nlm mcp` processes; rearchitecting better-sqlite3 off the main thread. Do not do these.

-## Task 1: `getByIds` on the SessionStore port
-
-Add a batched, body-free session fetch. The recall path needs id/label/summary/entities/decisions/open/status for a handful of sessions — never `body`. Omitting `body` is the core of the fix (it is the 99 MB / 239ms cost).
-
-**Files:**
-- Modify: `src/ports/session-store.ts`
-- Modify: `src/core/storage/sqlite-session-store.ts`
-- Modify: `tests/unit/core/recall-service.test.ts` (add `getByIds` to the `InMemoryStore` fake — keeps typecheck green when the port changes)
-- Test: `tests/integration/getbyids-sqlite.test.ts`
-
-- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test**
-
-Create `tests/integration/getbyids-sqlite.test.ts`:
-
-```typescript
-/**
- * SqliteSessionStore.getByIds — batched, body-free session fetch used by
- * the recall path so it never loads the full corpus.
- */
-
-import { mkdtempSync, rmSync } from "node:fs";
-import { tmpdir } from "node:os";
-import { join, resolve } from "node:path";
-import { afterEach, beforeEach, describe, expect, it } from "vitest";
-import { SqliteSessionStore } from "../../src/core/storage/sqlite-session-store.js";
-import { makeSession } from "../fixtures/sessions.js";
-
-const MIGRATIONS_DIR = resolve(__dirname, "../../migrations");
-
-describe("SqliteSessionStore.getByIds", () => {
-  let tmp: string;
-  let store: SqliteSessionStore;
-
-  beforeEach(() => {
-    tmp = mkdtempSync(join(tmpdir(), "nlm-getbyids-"));
-    store = new SqliteSessionStore({
-      dbPath: join(tmp, "canonical.sqlite"),
-      migrationsDir: MIGRATIONS_DIR,
-    });
-    store.insertSessionForTest(
-      makeSession({ id: "s1", label: "alpha", body: "BODY ONE", entities: ["NLM"], decisions: ["d1"] }),
-    );
-    store.insertSessionForTest(
-      makeSession({ id: "s2", label: "beta", body: "BODY TWO", open: ["q1"] }),
-    );
-    store.insertSessionForTest(makeSession({ id: "s3", label: "gamma" }));
-  });
-
-  afterEach(() => {
-    store.close();
-    rmSync(tmp, { recursive: true, force: true });
-  });
-
-  it("returns only the requested sessions", async () => {
-    const got = await store.getByIds(["s1", "s3"]);
-    expect(got.map((s) => s.id).sort()).toEqual(["s1", "s3"]);
-  });
-
-  it("returns an empty array for an empty id list", async () => {
-    expect(await store.getByIds([])).toEqual([]);
-  });
-
-  it("ignores ids that do not exist", async () => {
-    const got = await store.getByIds(["s2", "missing"]);
-    expect(got.map((s) => s.id)).toEqual(["s2"]);
-  });
-
-  it("populates entities and markers but omits body (body is empty)", async () => {
-    const got = await store.getByIds(["s1"]);
-    const s1 = got[0];
-    expect(s1?.entities).toEqual(["NLM"]);
-    expect(s1?.decisions).toEqual(["d1"]);
-    expect(s1?.body).toBe("");
-  });
-});
-```
-
-- [ ] **Step 2: Run the test to verify it fails**
-
-Run: `npm test -- tests/integration/getbyids-sqlite.test.ts`
-Expected: FAIL — `store.getByIds is not a function`.
-
-- [ ] **Step 3: Add `getByIds` to the port**
-
-In `src/ports/session-store.ts`, add this method to the `SessionStore` interface, immediately after the `getById` declaration:
-
-```typescript
-  getByIds(ids: ReadonlyArray<string>): Promise<ReadonlyArray<Session>>;
-```
-
-- [ ] **Step 4: Implement `getByIds` in `SqliteSessionStore`**
-
-First read `src/core/storage/sqlite-session-store.ts` to confirm the exact shapes of `SessionRow` (a type with `id, runtime, runtime_session_id, started_at, ended_at, duration_min, label, summary, status, transcript_kind, transcript_path, body`), the private helpers `loadEntities(ids)` / `loadMarkers(ids)`, the free function `loadActionOverlay(db)`, and `rowToSession(row, entitiesById, markersById, overlay)` (which sets `body: row.body ?? ""`).
-
-Add this method immediately after `getById` (around line 441):
-
-```typescript
-  /**
-   * Batched session fetch for the recall path. Deliberately omits the
-   * `body` column — body is ~48KB/row of session markdown that recall
-   * never reads, and SELECTing it for the corpus is what wedged the
-   * daemon. Resolved sessions carry `body: ""`.
-   */
-  async getByIds(ids: ReadonlyArray<string>): Promise<ReadonlyArray<Session>> {
-    if (ids.length === 0) return [];
-    const placeholders = ids.map(() => "?").join(",");
-    const rows = this.db
-      .prepare<string[], Omit<SessionRow, "body">>(`
-        SELECT id, runtime, runtime_session_id, started_at, ended_at, duration_min,
-               label, summary, status, transcript_kind, transcript_path
-        FROM sessions
-        WHERE id IN (${placeholders})
-      `)
-      .all(...ids);
-
-    if (rows.length === 0) return [];
-    const foundIds = rows.map((r) => r.id);
-    const entitiesByIdMap = this.loadEntities(foundIds);
-    const markersByIdMap = this.loadMarkers(foundIds);
-    const overlay = loadActionOverlay(this.db);
-    return rows.map((r) =>
-      this.rowToSession({ ...r, body: null }, entitiesByIdMap, markersByIdMap, overlay),
-    );
-  }
-```
-
-Note: `{ ...r, body: null }` reconstitutes a full `SessionRow` so `rowToSession` is reused unchanged — `rowToSession` does `body: row.body ?? ""`, so `null` yields `""`. Do not modify `rowToSession`, `list`, or `getById`.
-
-- [ ] **Step 5: Add `getByIds` to the `InMemoryStore` test fake**
-
-In `tests/unit/core/recall-service.test.ts`, the `InMemoryStore` class `implements SessionStore` and will not compile without the new method. Add this method to `InMemoryStore`, immediately after its `getById` method:
-
-```typescript
-  async getByIds(ids: ReadonlyArray<string>): Promise<ReadonlyArray<Session>> {
-    return this.sessions.filter((s) => ids.includes(s.id));
-  }
-```
-
-- [ ] **Step 6: Run the tests**
-
-Run: `npm test -- tests/integration/getbyids-sqlite.test.ts && npm run typecheck`
-Expected: PASS — all 4 `getByIds` cases; typecheck clean (the port change is satisfied by both `SqliteSessionStore` and the `InMemoryStore` fake).
-
-Run: `npm test -- tests/integration/recall-golden.test.ts`
-Expected: PASS — golden gate still green (`RecallService` unchanged this task).
-
-- [ ] **Step 7: Commit**
-
-```bash
-git checkout -b fix/recall-daemon-wedge
-git add src/ports/session-store.ts src/core/storage/sqlite-session-store.ts tests/unit/core/recall-service.test.ts tests/integration/getbyids-sqlite.test.ts
-git commit -m "feat: add body-free getByIds batch fetch to the SessionStore port"
-```
-

-
-## Task 2: Recall fetches only the hits, not the whole corpus
-
-Refactor `RecallService.search()` so it never calls `store.list()`. The search legs already return ranked IDs — fetch only those sessions via `getByIds`, then apply the entity/kind filter post-fetch. This is the root-cause fix.
-
-**Files:**
-- Modify: `src/core/recall/recall-service.ts`
-- Modify: `tests/unit/core/recall-service.test.ts`
-
-- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing root-cause test**
-
-In `tests/unit/core/recall-service.test.ts`, add call counters to the `InMemoryStore` fake. Change the class so it has two public counter fields and increments them. The fake currently looks like:
-
-```typescript
-class InMemoryStore implements SessionStore {
-  constructor(
-    private readonly sessions: Session[],
-    private readonly neighbors: SemanticNeighbor[] = [],
-    private readonly keywordHits: KeywordNeighbor[] = [],
-  ) {}
-  async list(): Promise<ReadonlyArray<Session>> {
-    return this.sessions;
-  }
-  async getById(id: string): Promise<Session | null> {
-    return this.sessions.find((s) => s.id === id) ?? null;
-  }
-  async getByIds(ids: ReadonlyArray<string>): Promise<ReadonlyArray<Session>> {
-    return this.sessions.filter((s) => ids.includes(s.id));
-  }
-  async semanticSearch(): Promise<ReadonlyArray<SemanticNeighbor>> {
-    return this.neighbors;
-  }
-  async keywordSearch(): Promise<ReadonlyArray<KeywordNeighbor>> {
-    return this.keywordHits;
-  }
-  async updateStatus(): Promise<void> {}
-}
-```
-
-Replace it with:
-
-```typescript
-class InMemoryStore implements SessionStore {
-  listCalls = 0;
-  getByIdsCalls = 0;
-  constructor(
-    private readonly sessions: Session[],
-    private readonly neighbors: SemanticNeighbor[] = [],
-    private readonly keywordHits: KeywordNeighbor[] = [],
-  ) {}
-  async list(): Promise<ReadonlyArray<Session>> {
-    this.listCalls += 1;
-    return this.sessions;
-  }
-  async getById(id: string): Promise<Session | null> {
-    return this.sessions.find((s) => s.id === id) ?? null;
-  }
-  async getByIds(ids: ReadonlyArray<string>): Promise<ReadonlyArray<Session>> {
-    this.getByIdsCalls += 1;
-    return this.sessions.filter((s) => ids.includes(s.id));
-  }
-  async semanticSearch(): Promise<ReadonlyArray<SemanticNeighbor>> {
-    return this.neighbors;
-  }
-  async keywordSearch(): Promise<ReadonlyArray<KeywordNeighbor>> {
-    return this.keywordHits;
-  }
-  async updateStatus(): Promise<void> {}
-}
-```
-
-Then add this test inside the `describe("RecallService.search", ...)` block:
-
-```typescript
-  it("resolves only the hit sessions and never loads the full corpus", async () => {
-    const big: Session[] = Array.from({ length: 100 }, (_, i) =>
-      makeSession({ id: `s${i}`, label: `session ${i}` }),
-    );
-    const store = new InMemoryStore(big, [], [
-      { sessionId: "s7", score: 9 },
-      { sessionId: "s42", score: 8 },
-    ]);
-    const svc = new RecallService({ store, llm: new StubEmbedder() });
-    const result = await svc.search({ query: "anything", mode: "keyword" });
-    expect(result.results.map((r) => r.id)).toEqual(["s7", "s42"]);
-    expect(store.listCalls).toBe(0);
-    expect(store.getByIdsCalls).toBe(1);
-  });
-```
-
-- [ ] **Step 2: Run the test to verify it fails**
-
-Run: `npm test -- tests/unit/core/recall-service.test.ts -t "resolves only the hit sessions"`
-Expected: FAIL — `store.listCalls` is `1` (the current `search()` calls `list()`), not `0`.
-
-- [ ] **Step 3: Refactor `RecallService.search`**
-
-In `src/core/recall/recall-service.ts`:
-
-(a) Change the port import to add the neighbor types. Replace:
-
-```typescript
-import type { SessionStore } from "@ports/session-store.js";
-```
-
-with:
-
-```typescript
-import type {
-  KeywordNeighbor,
-  SemanticNeighbor,
-  SessionStore,
-} from "@ports/session-store.js";
-```
-
-(b) Replace the entire `search` method (currently lines 39–106, from `async search(` through its closing `}`) with:
-
-```typescript
-  async search(input: RecallQuery): Promise<RecallResult> {
-    const mode: RecallMode = input.mode ?? "keyword";
-    const limit = clampLimit(input.limit);
-    const entity = input.entity ?? null;
-    const kind = input.kind ?? null;
-
-    const empty: RecallResult = {
-      query: input.query,
-      entity,
-      kind,
-      mode,
-      limit,
-      total: 0,
-      results: [],
-    };
-
-    if (!input.query && !entity && !kind) return empty;
-
-    // 1. Search legs — ranked neighbor IDs only. No session bodies loaded.
-    const kwNeighbors: ReadonlyArray<KeywordNeighbor> =
-      (mode === "keyword" || mode === "hybrid") && input.query
-        ? await this.deps.store.keywordSearch(input.query, limit * KEYWORD_OVERFETCH)
-        : [];
-
-    let semNeighbors: ReadonlyArray<SemanticNeighbor> = [];
-    let semError: "ollama_unreachable" | null = null;
-    if ((mode === "semantic" || mode === "hybrid") && input.query) {
-      try {
-        const embedding = await this.deps.llm.embed(input.query, "query");
-        semNeighbors = await this.deps.store.semanticSearch(
-          embedding.vector,
-          limit * SEMANTIC_OVERFETCH,
-        );
-      } catch (err) {
-        if (err instanceof LLMUnreachableError) {
-          semError = "ollama_unreachable";
-        } else {
-          throw err;
-        }
-      }
-    }
-
-    if (mode === "semantic" && semError) {
-      return { ...empty, modeUnavailable: semError };
-    }
-
-    // 2. Resolve ONLY the hit sessions — never the whole corpus. The
-    //    entity/kind filter is applied to the fetched hits; a filtered-out
-    //    session is absent from byId and is skipped during resolution.
-    const hitIds = uniqueIds(kwNeighbors, semNeighbors);
-    const hitSessions = await this.deps.store.getByIds(hitIds);
-    const filterArgs: { entity?: string; kind?: typeof input.kind } = {};
-    if (input.entity !== undefined) filterArgs.entity = input.entity;
-    if (input.kind !== undefined) filterArgs.kind = input.kind;
-    const byId = new Map<string, Session>(
-      applyFilter(hitSessions, filterArgs).map((s) => [s.id, s]),
-    );
-
-    // 3. Build hits from the resolved sessions, preserving leg rank order.
-    const queryTokens = input.query
-      ? new Set(tokenSet(input.query))
-      : new Set<string>();
-
-    const kwHits: KeywordHit[] = [];
-    for (const n of kwNeighbors) {
-      const session = byId.get(n.sessionId);
-      if (!session) continue;
-      kwHits.push({
-        session,
-        score: n.score,
-        matchedIn: keywordMatchFields(session, queryTokens),
-      });
-    }
-
-    const semHits: SemanticHit[] = [];
-    for (const n of semNeighbors) {
-      const session = byId.get(n.sessionId);
-      if (!session) continue;
-      semHits.push({ session, similarity: cosineFromL2(n.distance) });
-    }
-
-    // 4. Finalize per mode.
-    if (mode === "keyword") {
-      return finalize(input.query, entity, kind, mode, limit, kwHits.map(toKeywordHit));
-    }
-    if (mode === "semantic") {
-      return finalize(input.query, entity, kind, mode, limit, semHits.map(toSemanticHit));
-    }
-    const merged = mergeHybrid(kwHits, semHits, byId);
-    const result = finalize(input.query, entity, kind, mode, limit, merged);
-    return semError ? { ...result, modeUnavailable: semError } : result;
-  }
-```
-
-(c) Delete the `runSemantic` and `runKeyword` private methods entirely (currently lines 108–142). After this, the `RecallService` class body is just the constructor and `search`.
-
-(d) Add this module-level helper immediately after the `RecallService` class closing brace (before the `interface KeywordHit` declaration):
-
-```typescript
-function uniqueIds(
-  kw: ReadonlyArray<KeywordNeighbor>,
-  sem: ReadonlyArray<SemanticNeighbor>,
-): ReadonlyArray<string> {
-  const ids = new Set<string>();
-  for (const n of kw) ids.add(n.sessionId);
-  for (const n of sem) ids.add(n.sessionId);
-  return [...ids];
-}
-```
-
-Leave `KeywordHit`, `SemanticHit`, `mergeHybrid`, `toKeywordHit`, `toSemanticHit`, `sessionHitFields`, `finalize`, `clampLimit`, `cosineFromL2`, `round4`, `uniqueFields` unchanged. `applyFilter`, `keywordMatchFields`, `tokenSet` imports stay.
-
-- [ ] **Step 4: Run the root-cause test**
-
-Run: `npm test -- tests/unit/core/recall-service.test.ts`
-Expected: PASS — the new root-cause test and all pre-existing `RecallService.search` tests. The pre-existing tests feed `neighbors`/`keywordHits` to the fake and assert ranking/filter/limit/hybrid behavior; the refactor preserves all of it (the fake's `getByIds` returns the corpus sessions matching the hit ids, `applyFilter` drops entity/kind mismatches exactly as before).
-
-If a pre-existing test fails, do NOT weaken it — the refactor has a behavior bug; fix the refactor. The most likely culprit is the entity-filter test: confirm `applyFilter(hitSessions, filterArgs)` runs on the fetched hits and that filtered-out sessions are correctly absent from `byId`.
-
-- [ ] **Step 5: Run the integration + golden suites**
-
-Run: `npm test -- tests/integration/recall-sqlite.test.ts tests/integration/recall-golden.test.ts && npm run typecheck`
-Expected: PASS — `recall-golden.test.ts` (the recall-correctness regression gate) green proves the fetch-only-hits refactor did not regress recall quality; typecheck clean.
-
-- [ ] **Step 6: Run the full suite**
-
-Run: `npm test`
-Expected: PASS — whole suite green. If anything outside the recall files broke, STOP and report it.
-
-- [ ] **Step 7: Commit**
-
-```bash
-git add src/core/recall/recall-service.ts tests/unit/core/recall-service.test.ts
-git commit -m "fix: recall resolves only hit sessions, never loads the full corpus"
-```

-## Task 3: WAL checkpoint management
-
-The codebase has no checkpoint management — the live WAL has grown to 38 MB and never drains. Add a `checkpoint()` method to the store and a periodic + boot checkpoint to the daemon.
-
-**Files:**
-- Modify: `src/core/storage/sqlite-session-store.ts`
-- Modify: `src/cli/nlm.ts`
-- Test: `tests/integration/wal-checkpoint.test.ts`
-
-- [ ] **Step 1: Write the failing test**
-
-Create `tests/integration/wal-checkpoint.test.ts`:
-
-```typescript
-/**
- * SqliteSessionStore.checkpoint — drains the WAL into the main DB and
- * truncates the -wal file, so it cannot grow unbounded.
- */
-
-import { mkdtempSync, rmSync, statSync } from "node:fs";
-import { tmpdir } from "node:os";
-import { join, resolve } from "node:path";
-import { afterEach, beforeEach, describe, expect, it } from "vitest";
-import { SqliteSessionStore } from "../../src/core/storage/sqlite-session-store.js";
-import { makeSession } from "../fixtures/sessions.js";
-
-const MIGRATIONS_DIR = resolve(__dirname, "../../migrations");
-
-describe("SqliteSessionStore.checkpoint", () => {
-  let tmp: string;
-  let dbPath: string;
-  let store: SqliteSessionStore;
-
-  beforeEach(() => {
-    tmp = mkdtempSync(join(tmpdir(), "nlm-wal-"));
-    dbPath = join(tmp, "canonical.sqlite");
-    store = new SqliteSessionStore({ dbPath, migrationsDir: MIGRATIONS_DIR });
-  });
-
-  afterEach(() => {
-    store.close();
-    rmSync(tmp, { recursive: true, force: true });
-  });
-
-  it("truncates the -wal file after checkpoint", () => {
-    for (let i = 0; i < 30; i++) {
-      store.insertSessionForTest(
-        makeSession({ id: `s${i}`, label: `session ${i}`, body: "x".repeat(5000) }),
-      );
-    }
-    const walBefore = statSync(`${dbPath}-wal`).size;
-    expect(walBefore).toBeGreaterThan(0);
-
-    store.checkpoint();
-
-    const walAfter = statSync(`${dbPath}-wal`).size;
-    expect(walAfter).toBe(0);
-  });
-
-  it("is safe to call when the WAL is already empty", () => {
-    expect(() => store.checkpoint()).not.toThrow();
-  });
-});
-```
-
-- [ ] **Step 2: Run the test to verify it fails**
-
-Run: `npm test -- tests/integration/wal-checkpoint.test.ts`
-Expected: FAIL — `store.checkpoint is not a function`.
-
-- [ ] **Step 3: Add `checkpoint()` to `SqliteSessionStore`**
-
-In `src/core/storage/sqlite-session-store.ts`, add this method immediately after the `close()` method (near the top of the class, around line 116):
-
-```typescript
-  /**
-   * Drains the WAL into the main database and truncates the -wal file.
-   * WAL mode is on but nothing else checkpoints, so the file grows
-   * unbounded under continuous readers. The daemon calls this on an
-   * interval. Synchronous — keep the WAL small so each call is cheap.
-   */
-  checkpoint(): void {
-    this.db.pragma("wal_checkpoint(TRUNCATE)");
-  }
-```
-
-- [ ] **Step 4: Run the test to verify it passes**
-
-Run: `npm test -- tests/integration/wal-checkpoint.test.ts`
-Expected: PASS — both cases.
-
-- [ ] **Step 5: Wire periodic + boot checkpoint into the daemon**
-
-In `src/cli/nlm.ts`, find the `start` command's `.action(async (opts) => { ... })` (around line 148). After the `serve({ fetch: app.fetch, port: p }, ...)` call and before the `if (opts.scheduler !== false)` block, insert:
-
-```typescript
-    // Keep the SQLite WAL bounded. WAL mode is on but nothing else
-    // checkpoints it; under continuous readers it grows without limit
-    // (it had reached 38 MB), which slows every read. Drain once at boot,
-    // then every 5 minutes.
-    const WAL_CHECKPOINT_INTERVAL_MS = 5 * 60_000;
-    try {
-      store.checkpoint();
-    } catch {
-      // Boot checkpoint can lose a race with readers — the interval retries.
-    }
-    const checkpointTimer = setInterval(() => {
-      try {
-        store.checkpoint();
-      } catch {
-        // Checkpoint contention — the next tick retries.
-      }
-    }, WAL_CHECKPOINT_INTERVAL_MS);
-    checkpointTimer.unref();
-```
-
-Then, in the existing `shutdown` function inside the `if (opts.scheduler !== false)` block (currently `const shutdown = () => { scheduler.stop(); store.close(); process.exit(0); };`), add a `clearInterval` call so it becomes:
-
-```typescript
-        const shutdown = () => {
-          clearInterval(checkpointTimer);
-          scheduler.stop();
-          store.close();
-          process.exit(0);
-        };
-```
-
-Note: `store` is the concrete `SqliteSessionStore` from `buildStack()`, so `store.checkpoint()` is in scope. `checkpointTimer` is declared in the `.action` closure, so `shutdown` (also in that closure) can reference it.

-- [ ] **Step 6: Verify typecheck and the full suite**
-
-Run: `npm run typecheck && npm test`
-Expected: PASS — typecheck clean, whole suite green.
-
-- [ ] **Step 7: Commit**
-
-```bash
-git add src/core/storage/sqlite-session-store.ts src/cli/nlm.ts tests/integration/wal-checkpoint.test.ts
-git commit -m "fix: bound the SQLite WAL with periodic checkpoint management"

-## Task 4: Rebuild `dist/` and update the CHANGELOG
-
-**Files:**
-- Modify: `dist/` (regenerated)
-- Modify: `logs/CHANGELOG/CHANGELOG.md`
-
-- [ ] **Step 1: Rebuild `dist/`**
-
-Run: `npm run build`
-Expected: `build:server` and `build:ui` both succeed. If the build fails, STOP and report the error.
-
-- [ ] **Step 2: Append the CHANGELOG entry**
-
-Insert this as the newest (first) dated entry in `logs/CHANGELOG/CHANGELOG.md`, immediately below the title/intro block:
-
-```markdown
-## 2026-05-20 — Fix: recall daemon wedge (corpus-load + WAL bloat)
-
-`/api/recall` intermittently wedged for 10-25s, starving the whole HTTP server (a health check measured 8.2s during recall load).
-
-**Root cause** — `RecallService.search()` called `SqliteSessionStore.list()` on every request, which `SELECT`ed the `body` column: 99 MB of session markdown across 2,097 rows, loaded synchronously on the Node event loop (239ms with `body` vs 35ms without). better-sqlite3 is synchronous, so concurrent recalls serialized into multi-second head-of-line blocking. A `sample` confirmed ~50% of a wedge window in one synchronous query, 85% of that reading `body` overflow pages. The recall path never uses `body`.
-
-**Changes**
-- `SessionStore.getByIds(ids)` — batched session fetch that omits the `body` column.
-- `RecallService.search()` no longer calls `list()`. The FTS5 / sqlite-vec legs already return ranked IDs; recall now resolves only those (~15) sessions via `getByIds` and applies the entity/kind filter post-fetch. Per-query cost is O(hits), not O(corpus).
-- `SqliteSessionStore.checkpoint()` + a 5-minute (and boot) `wal_checkpoint(TRUNCATE)` in `nlm start` — the WAL had grown to 38 MB with no checkpoint management and never drained.
-
-**State:** v0.3.0. Recall is O(hits); the WAL stays bounded.
-```
-
-If `CHANGELOG.md` now exceeds 10 `## ` dated headings, move the oldest beyond 10 into `logs/CHANGELOG/CHANGELOG-2026.md` (prepend) and ensure the `_Older entries archived in CHANGELOG-2026.md_` pointer line is present at the bottom of `CHANGELOG.md`.
-
-- [ ] **Step 3: Final verification**
-
-Run: `npm test && npm run typecheck`
-Expected: PASS — full suite green (~290 tests), typecheck clean.
-
-- [ ] **Step 4: Commit**
-
-```bash
-git add dist logs/CHANGELOG/CHANGELOG.md
-git commit -m "build: rebuild dist for the recall wedge fix + CHANGELOG"
-```
-
-If Step 2 created/modified `CHANGELOG-2026.md`, `git add logs/CHANGELOG/CHANGELOG-2026.md` before committing.

-## Self-Review
-
-**Spec coverage:**
-- Recall stops loading the whole corpus / `body` → Task 1 (`getByIds` omits `body`) + Task 2 (`search` uses `getByIds`, not `list`). ✓
-- Entity/kind filter moves post-fetch → Task 2 Step 3(b), `applyFilter(hitSessions, filterArgs)`. ✓
-- WAL checkpoint management → Task 3 (`checkpoint()` + daemon interval + boot drain). ✓
-- One-time drain of the current 38 MB WAL → Task 3 Step 5, the boot `store.checkpoint()` runs when the rebuilt daemon next starts. ✓
-- Failing test reproducing the root cause → Task 2 Step 1 (`listCalls`/`getByIdsCalls` assertion). ✓
-- `dist/` rebuilt, CHANGELOG → Task 4. ✓
-- Golden + `recall-sqlite` integration stay green → verified in Task 2 Step 5. ✓
-
-**Placeholder scan:** No TBDs; every code step has complete code; every command has an expected result.
-
-**Type consistency:** `getByIds(ids: ReadonlyArray<string>): Promise<ReadonlyArray<Session>>` — identical signature in the port (Task 1 Step 3), `SqliteSessionStore` (Step 4), and the `InMemoryStore` fake (Step 5, Task 2 Step 1). `KeywordNeighbor`/`SemanticNeighbor` imported in `recall-service.ts` (Task 2 Step 3a) and used for `kwNeighbors`/`semNeighbors`. `uniqueIds` defined in Task 2 Step 3d, called in the new `search`. `checkpoint(): void` — defined in Task 3 Step 3, called in Task 3 Step 5. `KeywordHit`/`SemanticHit` unchanged and still consumed by `mergeHybrid`/`toKeywordHit`/`toSemanticHit`. ✓

-## Execution Handoff
-
-**Plan complete and saved to `docs/plans/2026-05-20-recall-daemon-wedge-fix.md`. Two execution options:**
-
-**1. Subagent-Driven (recommended)** — I dispatch a fresh subagent per task, review between tasks, fast iteration.
-
-**2. Inline Execution** — execute tasks in this session using executing-plans, batch execution with checkpoints.
-
-**Which approach?**
